Images from the
exhibition “Il Farinelli a Bologna”
The
precious objects and the extraordinary musical archives gathered by Farinelli in
his Bolognese villa went lost soon after his death in 1782. In 1800, the villa
was sold to Counts Castelli and in 1822 to nobleman Camillo Arnoaldi Veli.
After the sale of its treasures, after the disappearing of the magnificent
surrounding fields due to the Bologna-Venice railway line and to other
industrial plants, after having become the seat of a sugar factory, the majestic
villa was damaged by the air bombings in 1943, and consequently pulled down
during the first half of March 1949; the Società Italiana per l’Industria
degli Zuccheri, owner of the building, did not want to take the application of
the Soprintendenza alle Antichità dell’Emilia e della Romagna into
consideration, as to the building preservation and protection: thus an
enormously valuable historical wealth went lost; today the Ufficio Centrale
delle Poste is located in this site.
